Horoscope for 2nd Feb, 2016

ARIES: Just briefly you suddenly lose all thought of being superficial or frivolous. You want to get down into the depths to investigate, to stand steady until you find the long-term kind of answers. It may be to do with financial or emotional matters, or just more fundamental questions you are asking of yourself. You should be feeling healthier now, and able to sort out ailments faster than usual. Over indulgences are a real danger and diets might slide for lack of will power.

TAURUS: In your closest relationships, you may be clutching a little more than usual, hanging on to partners. Don’t get jealous and possessive if they aren’t exactly fitting in with what you want. Just move over and get in step with them. Your social and creative talents definitely need to be given an outlet. You have the confidence now and the opportunity, so why not? Everyone has the ability to create something of value. Make your inner visions live out in the world.

GEMINI: There will be a brief spell of time when other people demand a lot of you. You’re having to go out of your way to make sure that everyone is being well looked after. If you feel a bit emotionally squashed, try and give yourself a few tiny treats through the day. Luckily your family relationships are improving. You adore nothing better than being surrounded by those you trust most, and your talent for organising an easy atmosphere domestically is helping everyone close.

CANCER:You will be promoting yourself in a very strong way, looking for the limelight. You’ll be flirting, laughing, singing and dancing. There will be more emotional depth in relationships with loved ones, or indeed social companions. Smoothing round rough edges is becoming quite a talent with you now. Your ability to observe and easy way with words make you sought after as the one who knows. You can put workmates or everyday companions right with a happy smile and no one will mind.

LEO: Even if you are on your own for a little while, it won’t actually bother you very much because you’ll want to get away from hassle, hustle and aggravation. You don’t want to be overwhelmed by the things of the outside world. Your confidence around money is pretty inspiring for companions at work who see you as honest and successful, though do watch a tendency to be over optimistic. Maybe you are not thinking through the practical consequences of your financial schemes.

VIRGO: You’ll find at points the words spill out all over the place and other people may get a bit avalanched, flooded by what you say and miss out on the sense. So once in a while you have to stand back and try to come to a few conclusions before you leap back out again. Jupiter around in your own sign has a tendency to expansion, which is great for personal confidence but can also lead to over indulgences getting out of hand.

LIBRA:Sort out your priorities and decide what really is of value to you. Clearly with the current influences you might be tempted to think that money is the only thing that matters. But there are other things, which hold every bit as much interest for you, and can lift your spirits when you are feeling low. You seem genuinely happy with your own company and will be content to reflect on your thoughts. You are radiating an inner peace that others envy.

SCORPIO: In a restless mood, you’ll be ebbing and flowing like the tide, which is why you need sensible mates around to be protective, nurturing and a little bit more practical perhaps than you feel. You will be unduly sensitive to the undercurrents in the emotional atmosphere which does make you more sympathetic but it can also make you jangled or just confused at times. You want to mix yourself happily into team situations now and there should be no problem at all.

SAGITTARIUS: Now you may feel a bit discouraged or low in self-esteem, but there’s really no need for it. Don’t assume that being left to your own devices is a bad thing, or a sign that you are unlovable. Treat it as a blessing in disguise, to give yourself — emotionally, at any rate — a little bit of space. Your reputation is important to you now. You want to be respected and admired, though you might need to keep a little humility handy now and then.

CAPRICORN:

It’s important to get the right kind of emotional contact with friends and other people for affectionate support, and to bounce ideas off them for the future. Your open, honest, friendly and very enthusiastic manner is attracting a really positive response from everyone around. OK, at times you may sound just a touch all knowing, if you get too involved in a pet causes. Just rest assured that your uncanny knack of seeing what will happen is pointing you in the right direction.

AQUARIUS: IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY your year ahead will be hard working, ambitious and a time when you’ll see the rewards rolling in. Money will come your way more easily than usual through partner’s success or generosity or from elsewhere. You’ll be making serious plans for the longer term and relying on old tried and trusted friends to keep you on the right track. A frantic everyday schedule will keep you on your toes, running in all directions. Try to be efficient and communicate clearly.

PISCES: In a restless mood, you want to be anywhere other than where you are. But if you are stuck in the one place, go talk to more adventurous people, even find some stretching book to read. You really can’t be bothered with practical routines. You should be able to settle certain differences amicably and see very clearly which relationships in your life have room for development. Those, which have no potential for further growth, will be quietly dropped with a minimum of fuss.
